State Personal Income: First Quarter 2005

Personal income growth for the nation, and for all states except Rhode Island, slowed in the first quarter of 2005 from the fourth quarter, according to new estimates released today by the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis. National growth slowed to 0.7 percent from 3.3 percent and did not keep pace with the 0.8 percent inflation rate as measured by the price index for personal consumption expenditure.

The slowdown reflects the pattern of recent corporate dividend and compensation payments. Excluding last December's special Microsoft dividend, growth was 1.7 percent in the first quarter and 2.3 percent in the fourth. In addition, bonuses and other lump sum wage payments contributed to make fourth quarter earnings growth the strongest in more than four years.

The effect of the Microsoft dividend payment on personal income growth is most striking in Washington state, home of many of the company's largest shareholders. Personal income there declined 7.7 percent in the first quarter after growing 11.5 percent in the fourth quarter.

The effects of lump sum wage payments are most prominent in the management industry and to a lesser extent in the information and finance industries. Wage and salary disbursements in these industries grew 4.2, 1.6, and 2.0 percent respectively in the first quarter, two to three percentage points lower than the fourth-quarter growth rates.

Components of Personal Income

In most states, dividends, interest, and rent (property income) fell 3 to 5 percent in the first quarter after rising 5 to 9 percent in the previous quarter, mostly because of the Microsoft dividend. Property income in Washington fell 39 percent after rising 66 percent in the fourth quarter.

State unemployment insurance compensation declined in all regions except New England where it grew 1.8 percent. Within New England unemployment compensation rose in all states except Maine. New England's labor market is also notable for having the slowest wage growth of the eight BEA regions for three quarters.

Other transfer receipts rose 2 to 4 percent in all states after rising 1 to 3 percent in the previous quarter. First quarter growth was boosted by cost of living adjustments.

Earnings grew in all states but one-declining cash receipts from crop marketing offset earnings growth in the nonfarm sector in North Dakota. Nationally, the 1.7 percent earnings growth rate in the first quarter is markedly slower than the 2.6 percent growth in the fourth quarter. The slowdown-or more accurately, the return to trend growth from the unusually high fourth quarter growth-occurred in all regions except New England which had a relatively weak fourth quarter. In other regions the fourth quarter was revised upward by a percentage point or more and now has the largest percentage increases in more than three years. The revisions resulted from replacement of preliminary estimates based on employment with previously unavailable measurements of wage and salary disbursements.

Earnings by industry

The strong showing in the fourth quarter reflects lump sum wage payments (including bonuses and the exercise of stock options), particularly in the management industry. In the first quarter the management industry again exhibited the strongest wage growth of all industries, growing 4.2 percent on top of the 7.3 percent growth in the previous quarter. The management industry includes those establishments which oversee and control other establishments owned by a company, i.e., it includes corporate headquarters, and is therefore much influenced by end-of-year executive compensation decisions.

A robust construction industry was the driving force behind the four states with the fastest personal income growth in the first quarter (Utah, Wyoming, Nevada, and West Virginia). Construction provided roughly one half of a percentage point to the percentage change in earnings in these states. Wyoming also benefited from strong mining growth.

In contrast to these states, construction in five of the six constituents of the Mideast Region (Maryland, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, and the District of Columbia) contributed almost nothing to earnings growth in the first quarter.

The following chart illustrates the relative contribution of each industry to first quarter earnings growth. The sum of their individual contributions equals 1.7 percent.

Definitions

Personal income is the income received by all persons from all sources. Personal income is the sum of net earnings by place of residence, rental income of persons, personal dividend income, personal interest income, and personal current transfer receipts. Net earnings is earnings by place of work (the sum of wage and salary disbursements (payrolls), supplements to wages and salaries, and proprietors' income) less contributions for government social insurance, plus an adjustment to convert earnings by place of work to a place-of-residence basis. Personal income is measured before the deduction of personal income taxes and other personal taxes and is reported in current dollars (no adjustment is made for price changes).

The estimate of personal income in the United States is derived as the sum of the state estimates; it differs from the estimate of personal income in the national income and product accounts (NIPAs) because of differences in coverage, in the methodologies used to prepare the estimates, and in the timing of the availability of source data.

BEA groups all 50 states and the District of Columbia into eight distinct regions for purposes of data collecting and analyses: New England (Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, and Vermont); Mideast (Delaware, District of Columbia, Maryland, New Jersey, New York, and Pennsylvania); Great Lakes (Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Ohio, and Wisconsin); Plains (Iowa, Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, and South Dakota); Southeast (Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia, and West Virginia); Southwest (Arizona, New Mexico, Oklahoma, and Texas); Rocky Mountain (Colorado, Idaho, Montana, Utah, and Wyoming); and Far West (Alaska, California, Hawaii, Nevada, Oregon, and Washington).
